Baroness - Swollen and Halo lyrics
[Baroness - Swollen and Halo lyrics]
The steel that sleeps the eye
Needs nor tax nor toll
The kings with men might lie
Swollen and halo'd
Her sweetest skin burns
Now I've buried all the gold beneath my hide
Now I'll swallow breath with blood
Of pole and anchor of stone and mitre
Of God and beast and wine and piss and
Bread and fish and man
The virgin ground stains
Now we've wandered through the
Polestar's dusty floe
And my crown is breath and blood
Needs nor tax nor toll
The kings with men might lie
Swollen and halo'd
Her sweetest skin burns
Now I've buried all the gold beneath my hide
Now I'll swallow breath with blood
Of pole and anchor of stone and mitre
Of God and beast and wine and piss and
Bread and fish and man
The virgin ground stains
Now we've wandered through the
Polestar's dusty floe
And my crown is breath and blood
